A few days ago he had sworn that he would marry her, declared her to be his wife, and in the blink of an eye everything had changed and there was nothing left. His oath was unable to withstand a single blow.

Returning to the bedroom, Ye Jia sat on the deck and closed her eyes to rest. The gentle breeze blew her hair, and she quickly fell asleep. In her dream, she saw Long Haochen and Mei Hui step on the red carpet with champagne and roses in their hands, and the smile on Mei Hui's face was incomparably brilliant.

In his dream, Long Haochen raised his right hand, slightly raising his beautiful lower jaw, and slowly approached her face with a happy smile on his face. His lips came closer and closer to hers, and at the moment when his four lips were about to close …

"No!" Ye Jia screamed out in shock. She suddenly woke up from her sleep and opened her eyes. Long Yingqi's handsome face was right in front of her and was looking at her. When did he arrive? She didn't know at all!

Moving her body, Ye Jia struggled to sit up from the reclining chair, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. Her embarrassed eyes wandered around the garden, but she didn't dare approach Long Yingqi's face.

She was puzzled as to why she had such a dream. Could it be that Long Haochen and Mei Hui had already decided to get married, so she felt it? He hoped that all of this was just a dream, but reality was different!

"Ja, what happened to you?" Long Yingqi stretched out his hand to wipe away the sweat on her forehead, but his extended hand froze in midair and then helplessly hung down. Right now, all he could do was speak with his mouth and care for her. He couldn't hug or kiss her, even though he had always wanted to!

"I... It's nothing. I was having nightmares. " She couldn't possibly tell him that she was dreaming about Long Haochen and Meihui getting married, right? Don't let him see such an indecisive side!

Long Yingqi saw that she was smiling. Although her smile was forced, he was still quite happy inside. Only, did this mean that she had shamelessly forgotten about Long Haochen? He didn't want her to forget him!

"Is that so? What kind of nightmare is it? " Long Yingqi sat down beside her and asked with a smile.

Ye Jia smiled bitterly and changed the topic, "Second Young Master, aren't you supposed to be at work right now? How did you find the time to come back? " It was around 10 in the morning and time for work.

"I'm tired, I want to come back and rest." Long Yingqi laughed as he spoke, he sized her up and asked with concern, "Are you used to living here? Is there anything I can do for you? If you have anything, remember to tell me, I'll send someone to do it for you. "

Ye Jia shook her head and looked at him gratefully, "No need, there is everything here, I do not lack anything. Thank you." Long Yingqi was always so good to her, always doing things that would move her, but the one she was thinking about was Long Haoxuan!

I'm not used to living here, of course, because he's not here. But even if she wasn't used to it, she still had to live, because she had no other choice!

"Second Young Master, is Long Haochen well?" Are you going to marry Miss Merchants? " Ye Jia finally asked the question that she wanted to know the most. Could her dream have originated from reality?

Long Yingqi hesitated before replying, "He's been on a business trip these days. Very good. Fine, didn't I already tell you? He's going to pick you up one day, so he's not going to marry Miss Mercier. "

"I've never expected this to happen …" Ye Jia murmured miserably. Her body was lying on the guard post as she stared at the garden on the first floor. She was so sad that she could barely breathe.

Long Haochen returned to his office, picked up Long Shengjie who was playing a game on his leather chair, and started to pick up the phone on the table. A few minutes later, Shi Nan walked in and respectfully asked, "Eldest Young Master, what can I do for you?"

Long Haochen leaned back slightly, and asked tiredly, "How is the investigation going on Miss MeiHui's case?"

Shi Nan's scalp went numb. He knew that Long Hao Chen had called him here for this matter, but he still hadn't found out, so he could only apologise: "I'm sorry, young master. I'm still investigating."

If he kept investigating, there wouldn't be any progress. Long Haochen couldn't help but feel disappointed, because this matter couldn't be delayed any longer. Every time he saw Ye Jia's painful face, he would feel his heart bleeding.

He raised his eyes and sternly ordered: "I will give you three more days. You must find the evidence for me! I don't want to put it off any longer, do you hear? "

"Yes." Shi Nan lowered his head and replied. Other than this, he couldn't find any other reply. He really felt guilty for not being able to accomplish such a small thing. He had to do his best to investigate this matter thoroughly!

After a moment of hesitation, Shi Nan said, "Young Master, you're too tired from doing this. Why don't you tell the truth to Miss Ye, saving her some pain? You're tired yourself, aren't you?" As an outsider, he felt his heart ache when he saw how far he ran every day. He wondered how many more days Eldest Young Master would be able to hold on. How long would he have the energy to fight against the Mountain Gate?

Long Haochen shook his head, "No, Ye Jia's personality is too strong. She will definitely not be able to bear it. The more she knows, the more danger she will face. Do you understand?"

Therefore, he would rather Ye Jia misunderstand him and hate him than to see her in danger. Now, what he needed to do was quickly solve this mess and save Ye Jia's heart before she completely gave up on him. He wanted her to continue loving him.

He could feel that Ye Jia had always been struggling with the pain of loving and hating him, constantly trying to forget but never letting go. He could not bear to see her continue like this.

"Understood." Shi Nan nodded. He believed in Long Haochen's decision, so he didn't keep insisting.

"Send a few more people to protect her. Don't let anything happen to her, otherwise I'll kill you ten times to accompany her in death. Do you hear me?!" Long Haochen gave him a stern look as he gave the order.

Shi Nan immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Long Haoxuan's words made him sigh endlessly, goosebumps appearing on his skin. Miss Ye's life was so valuable, he had to be careful. Nodding, he turned around and left Long Haochen's office, covered in cold sweat.

In the following days, Ye Jia continued to live in a muddled state. Long Yingqi continued to care for her. He cared a little too much about her, making her feel ashamed and guilty!

She didn't know what level Long Yingqi's feelings for her were. Was it love? Ye Jia shook her head, rejecting her way of thinking. She didn't believe she had that much charm, and she didn't want Long Yingqi to have feelings for her more than his friends did.

The feeling of being hurt by love was too painful. She had experienced this kind of pain too many times. She didn't want to let someone who loved her to try it again.

When she woke up today, she actually heard the sound of a piano. She walked barefoot in the direction of the sound. The sound of the zither originated from the large bedroom next door. When she opened the door, she saw a few staff members tuning up the sound test.

Ye Jia walked in in surprise. An older butler smiled at her and said, "Miss Ye, this is the zither that Second Young Master bought for you. See if you like it or not."

Long Yingqi bought her a zither? Ye Jia looked at the dark high-priced piano in shock, feeling touched. She suddenly remembered that Long Haoxuan had bought her a zither, that ivory white piano! Unfortunately, she never had the chance to sit in front of it again.

Long Yingqi saw that she was bored, so he bought her a zither. But, how did he know that she liked to play? With a stomach full of questions, Ye Jia nodded and said, "I like it."

"It's good that you like it." The butler smiled and then led the staff of the Zither Department out.

Ye Jia walked to the piano quietly and touched the smooth surface of the zither, but she did not feel happy at all. She liked the piano, but she didn't like accepting other people's wishes. After all, they were too generous.

If it was Long Haoxuan who gave it to her, she would definitely be as happy as last time, unable to sleep, sitting in front of the zither all day long, unwilling to leave.

But today, as she sat at the piano, she did not put her fingers on the keys for a long time, and tears welled in her eyes. She missed him, even missed the way he had so domineeringly interrupted her with his forefinger on her high key, missed the way he had lifted her from the piano and gently placed her on the bed, ordering her to rest!

When the first tear fell on the keyboard, the bedroom door was pushed open. Ye Jia quickly lowered her head and used the back of her hand to wipe her tears. She could guess that the person who came was Long Yingqi.

However, the more she wanted to hold back her tears, the more she couldn't hold them back. Beads of tears continuously flowed out of her eyes like broken beads, falling onto the keyboard, the carpet …

"Ja, what happened to you?" Long Yingqi quickly walked in front of her, raised her tear-stained face and asked as he looked at her. He then used his finger to wipe away the tears that he would never be able to wipe away. Why did she cry? How could he not know? He just wanted to ask her. He just wanted to hear what she had to say. If he could tell her what he was unhappy about, it might alleviate his pain.

"Second Young Master …" I know I shouldn't miss him, but I can't help it. " Ye Jia used her teary eyes to look at Long Yingqi as she sobbed. Should she blame herself for being useless?

Long Yingqi's arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her out of the chair, embracing her, with his forehead against her forehead, he comforted her in a low voice, "I know, it's that bastard Long Haochen. He made you cry, okay?"

Ye Jia could only cry and let him hold her in his arms. At this time, she really needed a warm embrace. How could he not cry if he wanted her to?

In the end, Long Yingqi still couldn't control his own actions. He cupped her chin with his palm, lowered his head, and gently kissed the tears on her face. The beautiful lips moved down, covering her lips, greedily sucking in the taste that she had always missed, the taste that belonged to her.

Ye Jia finally stopped crying. She even forgot to cry and her body froze in his arms. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the familiar handsome face in shock. Long Yingqi... How could he kiss her?
